Decursive 12.1 Compatibility Patch - Changelog

v10.28

Shared Priority Timer Fix

• Fixed the shared cooldown timer not appearing on other afflicted MUFs.
• Removed reliance on reading AuraSlot:IsShown() from Blizzard-managed aura objects.
• The previous visibility read could be denied by WoW 12.1 protected/secret aura restrictions, causing the shared timer to remain hidden.
• Reworked the shared cooldown display to use Blizzard-supported duration binding behavior.
• Added DurationTextBinding for the shared white countdown text.
• Continued using Blizzard engine-side includeDispelTypes filtering to determine which units match a Decursive priority.
• Preserved the behavior where:
  • The cleansed target clears its priority visual.
  • The cleansed target does not keep a stale faded cooldown square.
  • Other afflicted MUFs using the same priority can show the shared cooldown state.
  • Different-priority MUFs remain unchanged.
  • Clean MUFs remain unchanged.
• Kept dynamic addon-controlled cooldown logic separated from protected aura inspection.

v10.27

Cleanse Clear + Shared Priority Cooldown

• Changed post-cleanse behavior so the successfully cleansed target immediately clears its priority/cooldown visual.
• Removed the old behavior where the cleansed MUF could remain as a stale faded square.
• The cleansed target is excluded from the shared cooldown display.
• The dispel spell cooldown is tracked by Decursive priority.
• Other currently afflicted MUFs that use the same priority are intended to receive:
  • A faded version of that priority color.
  • A white cooldown countdown.
• Different-priority afflicted MUFs remain unchanged.
• Clean MUFs remain unchanged.
• Continued using Blizzard-managed filtering to match protected dispel types without directly reading secret aura data.

v10.26

Forbidden Object Hardening

• Performed a full forbidden-object hardening pass.
• Removed the unsafe shared-priority cooldown gate implementation that could cause repeated taint/forbidden-object errors.
• Established a strict architectural boundary:
  • Blizzard-managed AuraContainers/AuraButtons handle protected aura visibility and priority-color information.
  • Decursive-owned frames handle dynamic cooldown/tint behavior.
• Removed dynamic calls against Blizzard-owned managed objects after initialization, including unsafe use of:
  • Show()
  • Hide()
  • SetAlpha()
  • SetCooldownFromDurationObject()
  • SetHideCountdownNumbers()
• Removed unsafe managed priority-gate container mutation.
• Removed forced managed UpdateAllAuras() calls from the dynamic cooldown path.
• Preserved working priority-color detection.
• Restored a stable baseline before rebuilding shared cooldown behavior.

v10.25

Hybrid Shared Cooldown

• Fixed the clicked MUF cooldown timer disappearing immediately after a successful dispel.
• Cause:
  • The clicked target lost its managed affliction gate after the aura was removed.
  • The cooldown timer was tied to that gate and disappeared with it.
• Added a hybrid cooldown model:
  • Clicked MUF keeps an addon-owned cooldown timer.
  • Other same-priority afflicted MUFs can receive a shared cooldown.
  • Different-priority and clean MUFs remain unaffected.
• This approach was later replaced by the stricter forbidden-object hardening in v10.26.

v10.24

Shared Priority Cooldowns

• Added an experimental feature to share a dispel cooldown with other afflicted MUFs using the same Decursive priority.
• Intended behavior:
  • Priority #1 cooldown only affects Priority #1 afflicted MUFs.
  • Priority #2 cooldown only affects Priority #2 afflicted MUFs.
  • Priority #3 follows the same model if configured.
• Added priority-specific managed aura filtering using Blizzard's candidateFilters.includeDispelTypes.
• Avoided directly reading protected aura type data in addon Lua.
• Clean and different-priority MUFs remain unaffected.
• This version exposed additional protected-object restrictions and was later reworked.

v10.23

Forbidden Cooldown Fix

• Fixed repeated forbidden-object errors caused by manipulating Blizzard-owned managed aura objects after initialization.
• Removed unsafe live updates against managed aura descendants.
• Blizzard-managed aura buttons are used only for:
  • Affliction visibility.
  • Priority-color display.
• Cooldown timers and cooldown shading were returned to Decursive-owned frames.
• Preserved working Blizzard-managed priority-color detection.
• Restored stable per-clicked-MUF cooldown behavior.

Notes

These versions focus mainly on stabilizing WoW 12.1 protected-aura handling, eliminating forbidden-object errors, and rebuilding shared cooldown behavior around Decursive priority colors without directly reading secret aura data.
